UPMC for Life Flex Spend Card
Your health care dollars, your choice!
New for 2023! Many UPMC for Life plans have a UPMC for Life Flex Spend Card that gives members health care dollars to spend on covered over-the-counter (OTC) products and dental, vision, and hearing services. These dollars are in addition to any allowances you may already get with your dental and vision benefits.
Here are all the ways this card can be used. Members have the freedom to use the card in any amount toward any of these products or services throughout the benefit year.
Over-the-counter (OTC) products. Use this card to buy covered OTC products at participating retail stores or through our mail-order catalog.
Dental services. Use your dental benefit allowance first and then use this card second to help pay for any out-of-pocket costs.
Vision services. Use your vision benefit allowance first and then use this card second to help you pay for any out-of-pocket costs.
Hearing services. Use this card to help you pay for any out-of-pocket hearing costs, like the discounted cost for hearing aids from a participating Amplifon hearing provider.
You can use your Flex Spend Card at any provider that accepts MasterCard, but make sure to use an in-network provider to take advantage of your dental, vision, and hearing benefits.
